These tests covered the stretch from the San Isidro station to the Villa Zaita station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As of the latest update, the overall progress of the project stands at an impressive 72%, with specific components such as stations and viaducts reaching a notable completion rate of 95%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The recent test marks the beginning of a series of comprehensive activities included in an exhaustive testing plan. The primary objective is to meticulously verify and confirm the safety conditions and functionalities of the entire railway system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The installation phase of equipment along the track has been successfully completed, marking the initiation of dynamic tests for the system. This phase encompasses the movement of trains, a crucial element in ensuring the efficiency and reliability of the expanded railway network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Overseen by the Panama North Line consortium, which comprises OHL and MOTA ENGIL, the Line 1 extension project boasts a total investment of $177,967,848.33.
